WEST CHESTER, Ohio — A second man has been sent to prison for a gang-related fatal shooting in West Chester Twp. in 2022.
Garreontai A. Holmes and Robert Morris, both 22, were indicted by a grand jury for aggravated murder and other felonies in February 2023 for killing 22-year-old Keshon Sanders on Oct. 20, 2022.
Sanders was found in his car, shot multiple times, at Meadow Ridge Apartments. He was taken to West Chester UC Hospital, where he died.
In January, Holmes took a negotiated plea to the charge of involuntary manslaughter, and the remainder of the charges were dismissed, according to court records.
On Tuesday, Holmes was sentenced to 11 to 16.5 years in prison by Butler County Common Pleas Judge Greg Stephens.
In December, Morris pleaded guilty in the middle of trial to murder with a three-year-gun specification. He was sentenced to life in prison with the possibility of parole after 21 years.
After the prosecution presented its case, ending with the testimony of a West Chester Police detective, Butler County Prosecutor Michael Gmoser said the defense sought a plea agreement.
